SHARE Wednesday, January 22, 2025 An assessment of some Trump actions taken during inauguration speech
Following Trump's inauguration he took action in several areas during his presidential speech. They included deporting millions of immigrants, Mexican drug cartels designated as terrorist orgs, drilling for new gas & oil, renew manufacturing in the US, tariffs on imports, only 2 genders male & female, society colorblind & merit based, build up the military but no involvement in wars or starting new ones, pardon of 2021 rioters
SHARE Sunday, January 19, 2025 On MondayTrump returns to the White House, the Democrats will have little say on what he does
On Monday Trump returns as US president. Except for a truce his envoy to the Middle East made between Israel & Hamas everything else is mere speculation. The Repubs have the presidency, the House & Senate plus a 6 to 3 majority on the Supreme Court. The Dems are in the wilderness unable to figure out what went wrong & why. Blaming Trump isn't the answer. They need to go back to the drawing board & see the mistakes they made.
SHARE Saturday, December 28, 2024 Is there anyone in the world more unpredictable than newly elected President Donald Trump?
Is there anyone in the world more unpredictable than newly elected US President Donald Trump. One never knows what he'll do. He says he'll end the Ukraine conflict in 24hrs yet he hasn't disclosed any details on how he'll achieve this feat. It's no more than speculation. He stirs the pot to keep it boiling w/ assertions that keeps him in the news. It's anyone's guess what he'll do after he's inaugurated.
SHARE Saturday, December 21, 2024 Could detente with our adversaries happen under a new Trump administration?
Could detente, relaxing of tensions w/our adversaries i.e. Russia, China, Iran, N. Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua et al be possible under the new Trump administration? He has made it known he wants to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hrs. That's unlikely to happen. Trump & Putin could have a summit meeting & negotiate an end to the war. But at this point we'll just have to wait & see what Trump & his entourage will actually do.

There is a suspicion by many (most?) people in the US that there is a two-tier system of justice in the country. One for ordinary people who when committing a crime & get convicted are sentenced & serve time in prison. The other tier involves those w/ high level political connections who rarely go to prison even when convicted of a crime. Yesterday Pres. Biden pardoned his son Hunter though he'd been convicted of a crime.
SHARE Monday, November 18, 2024 Biden lifts restrictions now allowing missile strikes deep into Russian territory
According to Biden administration officials the president has lifted restrictions on the Zelensky regime in Ukraine to use ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile Systems) to strike deep into Russian territory. The move is a serious escalation of the war. It seems unprecedented such a move would be carried out by a lame duck administration. What's to gain by it? It will only bring more devastation to Ukraine w/out changing the outcome.
SHARE Saturday, November 16, 2024 Speculation of Trump's second coming
It's been 11 days since Trump won re-election. And speculation about his second coming is @ fever pitch. Yet speculation of what Trump may or not do is merely a forecast. Forget what he said during the campaign. It was campaign rhetoric. Even looking @ his major appointments it's still speculation of what influence they'll have on him & what he'll actually do. Trump is so unpredictable he still could change his mind on a whim.
(3 comments) SHARE Wednesday, November 6, 2024 Trump elected- an assessment.
Well there it is; Trump is victorious. Kamala Harris was terrible choice for the Dems. They should have held an open convention to find the best candidate against Trump. Instead they chose her after Biden's disastrous debate performance against Trump. Most women voted for her but men in the swing states voted for Trump. What we do know about Trump is he's unpredictable so be prepared for the next iteration of Trump.
SHARE Friday, October 25, 2024 Is war with Russia and China on the horizon?
Geo-politically the world has changed since the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991. What is most profound today is the US directly provoking Russia and China the world's two other nuclear weapons superpowers- something that was not done during the cold war- save for the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 which ended w/ the diplomacy of JFK & Soviet Premier Khrushchev. Is the US preparing for war against Russia & China?

Israel invaded Lebanon earlier today. W/ this invasion Israel could have very well set the region on fire. However, there is a way to stop the carnage. The UN Security Council should authorize a UN multi-dimensional military force to the Israeli, Lebanon border w/ the express purpose of stopping Israel's military campaign in Lebanon & formally notify the Israeli's after the Council's decision is made. The problem? A US veto.
SHARE Saturday, September 21, 2024 Is Israel intending to start a larger Middle East war?
Yesterday Israeli IDF fighter jets attacked Lebanon killing a top Hezbollah commander & some of his officers. This came after days earlier Israeli Mossad remotely detonated thousands of pagers Hezbollah uses to communicate killing 12 people & injuring thousands. The next day Hezbollah walkie-talkie's were detonated in the same fashion. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nesrallah described the attacks as a declaration of war.
SHARE Monday, September 9, 2024 12 days ago the Israeli IDF invaded northern Palestinian West Bank cities with thousands of troops
There's a story that's not made the headlines but should have been front page news. On August 28+ the IDF, Israeli Defense Force, began invading northern Palestinian West Bank cities w/ thousands of Israeli soldiers supported by helicopters and drones. It was reported Israeli forces killed 30 Palestinians including children. The brutality was not only Israeli military but also Jewish settlers attacking & killing Palestinians.
SHARE Friday, August 30, 2024 The IAEA inspects nuclear power plants in Ukraine yet places no blame when attacks on these facilities occur
The IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) has had its inspectors at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (in the formally held region of Ukraine now a part of Russia) since September, 2022. Over the past week drone strikes have occurred near the facility. There were reports a drone strike fell next to the plant's storage of spent fuel last week. The IAEA reports the attacks yet places no blame of who is authorizing them.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has completely lost its mind allowing a transgender boxer to compete against women born female. This occurred yesterday @ the Paris Olympics. It is a fact not open to conjecture. Someone born a male, went thru puberty as a male, is stronger, faster & quicker than someone born female. A transgender woman should never be allowed to compete in any sport against a biologically born female.
SHARE Wednesday, July 24, 2024 Kamala Harris is likely the Democrat nominee against Trump in November yet there is a red flag to her leadership ability
Kamala Harris is likely to be the Democrat nominee for President against Trump in November. There is a clue to her leadership skills which most people are unaware of. In the Summer of 2022 it was revealed more than 13 high profile aides had left the Vice President in less than a year. She apparently didn't trust most of her key staff as most chose to leave. That's a red flag to her leadership ability.
SHARE Sunday, July 7, 2024 In most people's perception Biden could not have fared worse in his debate with Trump
In the debate w/ Trump on June 27th Biden looked frail, stumbled as he spoke, hard to understand, was weak, confused & hesitant when speaking. He couldn't have fared worse. It's people's perception of the candidates is what counts; not the quality or lack thereof what they're saying. If Biden remains Trump's opponent in November the Dems may go down in flames. Lose the House & the Senate to the Repubs. They may never recover.
SHARE Friday, June 21, 2024 Is America fascist?
Is America fascist? In today's America the fascism is more subtle camouflaging itself outwardly embracing freedom and democracy and following international law but ignoring and disobeying them whenever it sees fit believing in its own omnipotence and doing whatever it wants, whenever it wants and won't be challenged. That is the American empire.
SHARE Tuesday, June 18, 2024 Putin is in North Korea meeting Kim Jong-Un. Tomorrow he's in Vietnam. The US is none too happy with his diplomacy
Russian Pres. Putin is in N. Korea meeting its leader Kim Jong-un. Tom'w Putin will visit Vietnam. The US is none too happy w/Putin's int'l forays. A US embassy spokesman in Hanoi said, "no country should give Putin a platform to promote his war of aggression, allow him to normalize his atrocities & blatant violations of int'l law". As if the US hasn't committed wars of aggression, commits torture & violations of int'l law.
SHARE Sunday, June 9, 2024 Freedom of speech in America is a mirage
Freedom of speech in America is a mirage. If one disagrees w/ "official" policy they're demonized. If they don't condemn Russian President Putin they're his apologist. If they're against sending $billions each year to Israel they're labeled as an anti-Semite. And if they support the Palestinian's under siege in Gaza they're condemned as a supporter of Hamas. What happened to abiding by the 1st Amendment of the Constitution?
SHARE Wednesday, May 29, 2024 The Washington Post reported Trump at a campaign event for donors said he'd have bombed Moscow if they attacked Ukraine
Yesterday the Washington Post reported @ a campaign event for donors Trump told them "he would have bombed Moscow if they would have attacked Ukraine and attack China if they moved to assert sovereignty over Taiwan. Trump's campaign dismissed the Post's report as "fake news". Trump is completely unpredictable. Yet despite his legal entanglements he'll still likely be the Republican nominee for president in November.
